Comment (by taos):

 I'm usually using a laptop equipped with iprowifi2100 and occasionally one
 with iprowifi2200. Both worked in the latest nightlies >> hrev47380 (47380
 is a few months old?) However, there are a few known problems regarding
 installation of wifi firmwares.

 1.) install-wifi-firmwares.sh might need a working network connection to
 download firmware files even if they are already included in the nightly
 image which is the case for iprowifi2200 (#10464).

 2.) Even if the firmware package is activated (expanded firmware files
 appear in /system/data/firmware/iprowifi2200) you still need to reboot
 haiku before the corresponding driver works.

 3.) Sometimes the activated firmware package is de-activated within
 seconds (haven't seen this for quite some time) (#10914).
